It doesn't work like that, apart from social resistance to contraception. Where malnutrition is rife, many children die in infancy. But they have to be replaced, because it's only by setting the children to work in the fields or markets, fetching wood and/or water from long distances, etc. that actual starvation replaces malnutrition. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.

Nixon didn't have much choice in the matter. Even with wage and price controls and a 10% surcharge on all imports the dollar was circling the drain- multiple successive devaluations against gold were not enough and capital flight was increasing. Like the extremely unpleasant stagflation effects in Carter administration after him, the trade deficits (and the deficit spending on the lost war in Vietnam) had caught up with him, and options were limited. The pegging of the CNY to the USD can be thought of as a partial return to Bretton Woods. It does increase stability, but it probably has resulted in an overheated Chinese economy because they can't control economic "rods" to moderate the massive stimulus that the mature US economy has been fed in recent years. Hopfully there won't be a meltdown and some kind of resulting syndrome. > His most famous remark for me was: > > "Don't confuse me with the facts."

I read the plain words. Will you interpret anything you read or hear of in the Koran with as much euphemistic interpretation as you apply to those words? -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
